Biography
Dr. Badea received a M.D. from Iuliu Hatieganu Medical University in Cluj, Romania, a M.A. in Biological Sciences from Columbia University in New York, under the mentorship of Rafael Yuste and Darcy Kelley, and a Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry and Cellular and Molecular Biology from Johns Hopkins Medical School, under the mentorship of Jeremy Nathans. He then completed postdoctoral training in the lab of Jeremy Nathans, working on molecular genetic approaches for the study of neuronal cell type identification, development, and function. He joined the National Eye Institute as a Tenure Track Investigator in 2010, and is heading the Retinal Circuits Development and Genetics Unit of the Neurobiology-Neurodegeneration and Repair Laboratory. His major interest is in the developm
